Guide suitable for: Beginner - advanced players

These guides are written by Team iDemise, a multi-gaming team who excel at Counter-Strike, among other games. They have made a very bold claim with this guide, namely having the fastest 1-80 leveling time in the world. However, they haven’t shown any screenshots or proof of this record breaking leveling time.

Anyhow, the guide itself is now completely in-game. There is no longer any text version. While it’s good that they put everything in-game, if you want to look anything up on wowhead then you’ll have to search manually.

You can customize a lot of the window settings. The whole thing is very intuitive and easy to understand. You just choose your level range and get started. Once a step is done, check it off and go to the next. The guide will remember where you left off when you log back in again. The instructions are sufficient in most places so that you don’t have to study your quest log too much.

I think the instructions are clear, but there seem to be too many grinds for my liking. In several places there are just a handful of quest turn-ins and some quests to do between 2 levels, and in my experience that’s not going to be enough. The rest you’ll have to grind. With all the leveling improvements Blizzard have made from level 20-70 there should be very little grinding in a leveling guide.

7/10, in my opinion.
